ABSTRACT: Presented herein is a first major density functional theory (BP86/D3/STO-TZ2P) survey of the energetics of saddling versus ruffling for a wide range of dodecasubstituted metalloporphyrins with M = Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, and Pt. For the majority of X8TPP (i.e., β-octasubstituted-mesotetraphenylporphyrin), the calculations indicated a clear preference for the saddled conformation, consistent with a large body of experimental data. The preference for the saddled conformation relative to the ruffled conformation was found to vary from about ∼0.3−0.4 eV for Me8TPP derivatives up to 1 eV for I8TPP and (CF3)8TPP derivatives. For X = Ph, that is, dodecaphenylporphyrins, the saddled and the ruffled conformation are almost equienergetic, with even a slight preference for the ruffled conformation in some cases. This finding provides a satisfactory explanation for the X-ray crystallographic observation of both saddled and ruffled conformations for dodecaphenylporphyrin complexes as well as for spectroscopic evidence for conformational mobility of these complexes in solution. The calculations also indicate near-equienergetic saddled and ruffled conformations for meso-tetraacetylenyltetrabenzoporphyrins, again consonant with key crystallographic findings. By and large, both the energetics and nonplanar distortions of the metalloporphyrin derivatives correlated well with the Charton and Sterimol B1 steric parameters of the peripheral substituents.

INTRODUCTION Despite their aromatic character, metalloporphyrins adopt a variety of nonplanar conformations such as the ruffled, saddled, domed, waved, and various intermediate conformations.1−3 These deformations result from such factors as a sterically hindered set of substituents, a coordinated atom that is too small or too large, and specific metal−porphyrin orbital interactions. Of the various deformations, ruffling and saddling are the most common. Ruffling, where the meso carbons are alternately displaced above and below the mean porphyrin plane, commonly occurs for a coordinated atom/ion that is too small for a planar porphyrin; a common example is the Ni(II) ion.4−8 Certain sterically hindered substitution patterns, such as four bulky meso substituents, also result in ruffling. mesoTetraisopropyl-9−11 and meso-tetrakis(t-butyl)porphyrin12 derivatives provide good examples of such ruffled porphyrins. Saddling, where the pyrrole rings are alternately tilted above and below the mean porphyrin plane, is most commonly associated with dodecasubstituted porphyrin derivatives, where it provides relief from peripheral steric overcrowding. Interestingly, the ruffled conformation has been observed for a handful of dodecasubstituted porphyrin derivatives. Thus, Smith and co-workers reported X-ray structures for both the © 2017 American Chemical Society

ruffled (CCDC: XAWRUI) and saddled (CCDC: TEZXEB) conformations of Ni dodecaphenylporphyrin13,14 and underscored the flexibility of the system. There is also significant spectroscopic evidence that Ni dodecaphenylporphyrin is conformationally mobile in solution.15 A ruffled conformation has been found for a Pt β-octaalkyl-meso-tetraacetylenylporphyrin (CCDC: LUTYOO, Figure 1).16 Unlike for ruffled porphyrins17−19 and hydroporphyrins,20−23 few major quantum chemical studies have addressed the question of energetics associated with saddling in porphyrins,24,25 which has left us relatively in the dark about the relative energies of the saddled versus ruffled conformations of various dodecasubstituted metalloporphyrins. Detailed information on this subject should not only allow for a better appreciation of metalloporphyrin structural chemistry and spectroscopy1,2,15,25−27 but also stimulate the use of nonplanar porphyrins to create novel supramolecular and nanoscale structures.28,29 Prompted by the above considerations, we undertook a dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) study Received: July 17, 2017 Accepted: September 27, 2017 Published: October 13, 2017 6708

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Table 1 shows that the majority of the complexes prefer a saddled conformation by a clear margin of energy, consistent with the large body of available crystallographic data.1 Also, as shown in Figure 4, with the possible exception of Ni(II), the smallest metal ion considered, Esadd − Eruff is essentially independent of the metal, for the metal ions considered. For the X8TPP complexes and for a given metal ion, Esadd − Eruff exhibits a strong, linear dependence on the steric bulk of the β substituent X, as measured by either the Charton48−51 or the Sterimol B152−57 parameters (Figure 5), with one key exception, X = Ph. Thus, the preference for the saddled conformation relative to the ruffled conformation ranges from about ∼0.3−0.4 eV for Me8TPP derivatives up to 1 eV for I8TPP and (CF3)8TPP derivatives. Interestingly, for X = Ph, that is, dodecaphenylporphyrins, the saddled and the ruffled

As shown in Figure 2, three broad classes of complexes were examined (a) X8TPP (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin), where the meso substituent is phenyl and the β substituent X = Me,30−32 Cl,33−36 Br,37−39 Ph,13,14,40,41 I,42 and CF3;43 (b) Y4TBP (TBP = tetrabenzoporphyrin), where the meso substituent Y = CC-SiMe3 (hereafter abbreviated as A) and Ph, 44−47 and (c) X 8 TAP (TAP = meso-tetrakis(trimethylsilylacetylenyl)porphyrin), where X = Me16 and Br. For each porphyrin ligand, five different divalent metals were examined, namely, Ni,13,14,16,35,36,38,39,42,43,45,46 Cu,33,38,40,42,44 Zn,13,34,37,41 Pd, and Pt.16,47 For each metalloporphyrin, the ruffled and saddled conformations were optimized. Table 1 lists various geometry parameters and the energy difference between the saddled and ruffled conformations (Esadd − Eruff). The key geometry parameters of interest are the ruffling (ψ) and 6709

much lower steric effect than that implied by their Charton and Sterimol B1 parameters. The anomalously low steric effects of the phenyl groups are most reasonably ascribed to the manner in which they stack in a circular arrangement around the porphyrin periphery. These results explain the experimental observation of both the saddled and ruffled conformations of nickel dodecaphenylporphyrin.15 The acetylenyl-substituted metalloporphyrins considered here, Y4TBP complexes with Y = CC-SiMe3 and X8TAP complexes, behave similar to dodecaphenylporphyrins in that they too exhibit essentially equienergetic saddled and ruffled conformations. We view this finding to be quite reasonable because acetylenyl and phenyl substituents are expected to exhibit similar minimum widths and similar Sterimol B1 parameters. Energetics considerations thus provide a rationale for the experimental observation of a ruffled platinum βoctaalkyl-meso-tetraacetylenylporphyrin.16 Table S1, Supporting Information shows key experimental structural data for selected saddled porphyrins relevant to this study. The reader may verify that the present calculations generally do an excellent job of reproducing the experimentally observed saddling distortions. For the full set of complexes studied, the degree of saddling (as measured by either zβ or χ, Figure 6) or ruffling (as measured by either zmeso or ψ, Figure 7) also shows an excellent correlation with the Charton parameter and a somewhat worse correlation with Sterimol B1.

CONCLUSIONS Dispersion-corrected DFT calculations indicate a clear preference for the saddled conformation for the majority of X8TPP complexes, consistent with a large body of experimental data. For X8TPP complexes, where X = Ph (i.e., dodecaphenylporphyrins), or Y4TBP complexes, where Y = CCSiMe3, as well as for X8TAP complexes, however, the saddled and ruffled conformations are found to be nearly equienergetic,

conformations are almost equienergetic, with even a slight preference for the ruffled conformation in some cases. In other words, the phenyl groups in dodecaphenylporphyrins exert a

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION All DFT calculations were carried out with the ADF (Amsterdam Density Functional) 2013 program system,58 the BP86 functional in conjunction with Grimme’s D359 dispersion corrections, Slater-type TZ2P basis sets, a fine mesh for numerical integration, and full geometry optimizations with tight convergence criteria. D2d or D2 symmetry constraints were used to derive the saddled and ruffled optimized conformations for each metalloporphryin. Free energy differences between the

In general, the degree of saddling or ruffling exhibits a clear correlation with the Charton or Sterimol B1 steric parameters of the substituents in question, except for dodecaphenylporphyrins and acetylenyl-substituted porphyrins. For these compounds, both the Charton and Sterimol B1 parameters appear to greatly overestimate the actual steric effects exerted by phenyl and acetylenyl substituents. 6711

(51) Charton’s steric parameters υX are derived from van der Waals radii (Å) of a substituent X via the equation υX = rX − rH = rX − 1.20, where rX and rH are the van der Waals radii of X and hydrogen, respectively. For an unsymmetrical substituent X, rX is chosen as the minimum van der Waals radius. (52) Verloop, A.

(57) Verloop’s current steric parameters contain three subparameters, two width parameters B1 and B5 and a length parameter L. The B1 parameter describes the minimum profile width of the substituent from the primary bond axis and the B5 parameter describes the maximum width from the same axis.
